FBA, FBM, VBA, and VBM record formats are used for output datasets, particually those that are meant to be printed. The one-byte field in the first position of the dataset is used to tell the output device how to handle the output. The types of values it can contain are:
Print after advancing to top-of-form (page feed or form feed).
Print after advancing one line (single-space).
Print after advancing two lines (double-space).
Print after advancing three lines (triple-space).
Print after advancing n lines. (n can be a value of 1-12).
Print after advancing no lines (overstrike). |

| When you use FBA for any file in JCL, 1 byte is reserved for printing control character and thats why you have to declare minus 1 byte for the printing/report output file in the FD 01 level and use AFTER ADVANCING in procedure division. Compiler understands when it come accross this(AFTER ADVANCING) statement |

| You need to check your compiler options, ADV/NOADV affect how you define the output record in your program. |
